Greens making noise about Adelaide Airport curfew change

The Greens are demanding the Federal Government reverse an easing of the Adelaide Airport night curfew.

Cathay Pacific flights are to be allowed to use the airport outside the 11pm-6am curfew.

The Federal Government has decided to let flights land at 5:10am four times a week, between next April and October.

South Australian Greens leader Mark Parnell has asked federal parliamentary members to pressure the Government to reverse its decision.

"Part of the price that we pay in Adelaide for having a very convenient suburban airport is that we do need to acknowledge that there are local people who live beneath the flight path who deserve a good night's sleep, so I think Cathay Pacific can make other plans," he said.

"I think it's important for South Australians to stick together and stick up for those people who live below the noisy flight path because we all benefit from the convenient location of the airport."
